More than 80 CDs a week come through our station, and approximately almost all of it is crap. So when I went into the studio and saw Matt & Kim's new album sitting there I was more than pleasantly surprised. I was only familiar with their first single "Daylight" which is an extremely powerful indie-pop ballad that will no doubt be stuck in your head for a very long time. The rest of the album is along the same rousing lines, although nothing quite beats "Daylight."
The music is only synth, drums, and vocals. And, according to the promo sheet, when the band started neither member knew how to play either instrument. But somehow it has all come together in an extremely enjoyable, simplistic, and fun album.
Most recommended for an impromptu dance party to release some stress and yell some lyrics.
Bonus: They are on tour with Cut Copy and will be at the 9:30 club March 23 so CHECK THEM OUT!!
